• Ability to acquire Function channels from the scope allows for analysis of de-embedded or other scope-processed signals

Waveform Exploration and Debug

• Extensive and unique debug features make it easy to find not just the needle in a haystack, but a needle in 10,000 haystacks
• Record/Playback – detect & isolate rare events and trends across hundreds or even thousands of acquisitions
• StatTrack – spot trends in statistical behavior faster
• Run Until – sophisticated, post-process, measurement limit triggering
• Column vs. column plots in Characterization Manager give insight into relationships between parameters
• Unattended Debug – get a record of all 'bad' behavior of your signal as well as a representative sample of normal behavior
• View Voltage, Modulation (time-vs-time), and Frequency domains simultaneously
• ScopeTrack – directly and visually correlate behaviors in the Modulation domain to behaviors in the Voltage domain, and vice-versa
• Purpose-driven interface makes moving across the waveform surface both within and across acquisitions more effective than what you're doing now.
• High ease of use lets you be productive right out of the gate without penalizing the expert user
• An interface that makes zooming and panning a more natural act than other approaches
• M1 Reader™ allows you to explore, analyze, automate, debug, etc. wherever you want to without tying you to the scope
• Isolated Sub-Population Analysis (ISPA) lets you debug repetitive events and events that are associated with events/behaviors on another signal
• Compliance Breakout lets you go directly to the source of a failure while running a compliance test, and lets you correlate it with other aspects of waveform behavior.

Automation/Productivity

• Automate commonly used measurements to achieve up to a 30-40x measurement workflow speedup
• Record repetitive sequences of measurements, settings, and limit-comparisons.
• Develop tests and then combine them into a complete compliance test suite.
• Automate both M1 native functions and user-created proprietary functions in Matlab or a DLL
• Intuitive applications authoring using ScriptBuilder™
• Create and share your own TestScripts throughout your lab, or...
• Develop proprietary applications
• Use our support forums to learn, share, discuss and collaborate
• Save thousands over proprietary applications that are tied to a single scope
• Characterization Manager allows you to automatically gather all of your important results into one place for easy export e.g. to Excel
• Sophisticated reporting capability allows you to output to a wide variety of common formats
• “Bailout Bag” – rapidly collect the results you need (scope data, measurement results, graphics, etc) with the press of a single button

Collaboration

• Facilitate genuine collaboration among your engineers
• Enable your entire team, wherever they are, to explore/analyze/debug the entire waveform when they collaborate, not just look at a few numbers
• Save/archive the entire waveform for later analysis rather than just a few numbers
• With the click of a button send a waveform to a collaborator either by email or FTP
• Use a standard data format that allows you to exchange data with your coworkers, customers, and vendors, regardless of whose oscilloscope each is using
• M1 Reader allows you to explore, analyze, automate, debug, etc. wherever you want to without tying you to the scope
• Manage all your waveforms through a powerful, common tool/UI/data format... the age of ScopeCo specific data is over. And work with that data where you need/want to. You don't have to be at the scope ever again.
• Use the same algorithms to calculate, regardless of the type of scope, enabling true correlation

Conserving Your Lab Budget

• Service Life Extension Program - allows you to inexpensively bring an older scope up to the state-of-the-art line rather than having to buy expensive new hardware
• Automation and productivity benefits mean you can get more work done with fewer scopes
• When you do get a new scope, you don't lose your investment in the software because the license is transferable - this can save tens of thousands of dollars on the purchase of a new scope vs ScopeCo's approach
• Scalable pricing means the cost of the software is always in line with the cost of the hardware that it runs on
• Saves you money on unpurchased ScopeCo SW - More than pays for itself
• One all-encompassing program rather than the constellation of (expensive) options from ScopeCo
• M1 is the only scope application that offers software update Subscription services and upgrade paths - get new functionality automatically added to the software you already have, rather than having to pay for yet another ScopeCo narrow application
• M1’s ease-of-use enables its power to be accessible by a much wider range of users

Rj/Dj

• SEEj was designed from the start to circumvent the significant problems (divergence, algorithmic stability, accuracy, repeatability, etc) inherent in competing methods
• Calibrated/validated Rj/Dj decomposition, including instrument noise nullification
• Innovative neural network calibrates accuracy to within 5% or 0.002 UI across nearly the entirety of all possible jitter types
• Aggressive methodological validation - ASA’s Data-jitter Algorithm Validation Engine (DAVE) breaks jitter-space up into 300K+ regions and tests/calibrates SEEj at each
• Measure both random and repetitive data streams
• Convergence monitoring to let you know when you've acquired enough data
• Divergence monitoring to alert you to the presence of non-stationarity
• Engineered to converge rapidly
• Culmination of nearly two years of intensive effort
• True correlation – identical algorithm on all major manufacturer's real-time scopes

Open Solutions Architecture

• Create your own measurements via Matlab or DLL

Embedded Intelligence

• Hidden Anomaly Location (HAL) works quietly in the background, automatically alerting you if something unusual or pathological is found in your signal
• HAL helps you do your job better and faster by finding anomalous behaviors you may not have even been looking for
• AutoMeasure helps get you up and running quickly by identifying the number and type of signals available and opening up an appropriate set of measurements automatically
